Super soup & sandwich meals

Ahhh... Sitting down to a warm, wonderful combo meal of a filling sandwich and satisfying soup is one of the most anticipated must-dos of fall. Mixing and matching soups and sandwiches gives you nearly endless lunch and dinner possibilities. Here are two of our favorite soup and sandwich combinations to inspire a few mouthwatering matches of your own.

Strike a delicious balance

Keep one of the two options on the lighter side. For example, if you are craving a cream-based soup, pair it with a light vegetable-and-deli-meat sandwich. Likewise, for a broth-based soup, go heavier with a cheese-and-meat packed sandwich.

Keep soups & sandwiches complementary

Another way to complement your soups and sandwiches is by balancing out their components. If your sandwich is heavy on the meat, go lighter or sans meat with the soup; likewise, pair a vegetable-packed sandwich with a more substantial meaty soup.

Marry the flavors

A perfect, classic pairing is tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. The soup is tangy and light, while the sandwich is robust with ooey gooey cheesiness. You also can include one flavor or ingredient in both. For example, a few sprinklings of bacon in asparagus soup make it a mouthwatering match for a BLT.

Enjoy the heat

Especially delicious on a cold day, a grilled or toasted warm sandwich is an ideal partner for a steamy hot soup.
